Picking the Perfect Bridesmaid Dresses

We have all heard the horror stories
about the bride that chose the orange mermaid shaped dress
for her maid of honor, also known as her best friend. Yes
brides,
we know the day is all about you, but let’s keep in mind
those that have no opinion in the matter.
There is more than just the actual design of the dress that
needs to be considered. Things such as the cost of the dress
that you
choose, which will be passed on to the friend are often overlooked
until it's too late. The styles today are definitely better
than they were just 10 years ago. Styles have become very simple
and
elegant, which is a compliment to almost anyone. Remember too,
to be flexible in the styles. We all will without a doubt make
the exception for the pregnant bridesmaid, but when it comes
the bridesmaid that is, let’s say, less than perfect
size, we just tell them to squeeze in because everyone else
is wearing
it. Be considerate and let your creativity show in the styles
of the dresses as well.
The prices of dresses can go anywhere from $30 to well over
$1000. Keep in mind again, that these are your friends. Know
their limits
and don’t put them in an awkward position. They are very
honored to have been asked to take part in this important day,
and most likely very excited, don’t price them out of
the wedding.
Color can be fun. All the bridesmaids can match, which is most
common. Also know that for whatever reason, if you have to
change styles to accommodate different friends, you can choose
complimentary
colors as well. This can add some interesting visual elements
to an otherwise average looking ensemble.
When choosing a dress you also need to keep in mind the location
of all your bridesmaids. If some are out of state, you will
need to choose a location that may be a chain, in which to
purchase
your dresses. Another great option is to have the dresses made
with the patterns and material sent to those out of town.
This is your wedding. Let your style show through in whatever
you choose. But most of all enjoy!
